Bandar Seri Begawan - Transit passengers in Brunei will now be able to take in Brunei's scenery while waiting for their flight following an agreement between the Royal Brunei Airlines (RBA) and Sunshine Borneo Tours for the "Window on Brunei Transit Tour Programme"

The programme which started early last month, will see Sunshine Borneo Tours operate the transit tours four days at a time and bring passengers to a selection of tourist attractions including Bandar Seri Begawan's waterfront that overlooks Kampong Ayer, the Yayasan Shopping Centre, Sultan Omar 'Ali Saifuddien Mosque, Istana Nurul [man and the Sumhangsih Mulia.

"Sunshine Borneo Tours sees the transit tour programme as a great opportunity to introduce Brunei to passengers who are travelling through our country," said YAM Pengiran Anak Hj Abdul Wadood Bolkiah Pengiran Iola Cheteria Sahibun Najabah Pengiran Anak Haji Abdul Aziz, the Chairman of Sunshine Borneo Tours, one of the co-signers for the agreement.

Signing on behalf of Royal Brunei Airlines was Senior Vice- President of Commercial Yield and planning, Captain Sheikh Rashid Sheikh Elj Abd Salam. "This is a complimentary tour for transit passengers where Royal Brunei Airlines is just providing a value added service that will help to promote Brunei," said Russell Knox, RBA Corporate Communication Officer..

He said that Brunei International Airport currently has transit passengers from all over Europe, Australia and the region, and is complimentary to them if their transit lasts longer than four hours.

Alternatively, passengers who wish to remain at the airport during their transit may instead opt for a complimentary set meal voucher at the Coffee Garden in the departure hall at the airport. -- Courtesy of The Brunei Times
